Dalgain
Image: © Bob Forrest Taken: 6 Feb 2007
Dalgain shows the typical layout of the farmstead of a tenant dairy farmer in this part of Ayrshire. The gable end of the main dwelling faces the prevailing wind with usually a byre, barn and a granary making a L-shape building around the 'farm close'. An additional building for storing machinery, providing a workshop facility or additional byre space, was often added when needed. This property lies above the floodplain of the R. Ayr near the private road leading to Glen Logan House.
